So lately i have been breaking u-joints and wear wheel bearing's out in less than 6months on both sides.(ever since i went to 33-12.50s, plus i drive alot of gravel roads and 4wheel weekly and im also in 4wd from nov-april all day every day due to the snow). that being said i rather not upgrade to dana 60sdue to the cost(not hard for me), so i am looking at lok out hubs for my dana 44. I know i can go buys some for a grand but i rather make a home brew kit. I know i can get parts off a ford. does anyone a parts list of what i need? thanks! any ideas would be great too!

 

pirate4x4 has a pretty good write up on it if you search for it

 

With all the breakage you've done and subsequent repair, would it come to the cost of Dana 60s? Also take into account going forward.

Git R Dun dude!!

 

That pirate 4x4 diy is for a Dana 60.

 

Sorry to say but that is for a Dana 60 not a Dana 44. Spin free had a kit for 500-700 hun.

Edit: Sorry to slow

 

I know, I was just providing my preference DIY on it. At least wanted to provide the next level up option.

 

D60's are the way to go.....now if i could just find a set around here in louisiana lol

 

appears that Post #4 is walking the path.... (I did not check them)

ughh really dont want to go 60s but you guys are making me think twice.. i really want another diesel... maybe the truck gods are telling me to upgrade trucks :P

 

Can you get down to Texas to pick and choose???

(cross posting!)


btw, you clearly beat that thing to heck in a way that D44s are pansies.
